SCOTT HOPES FOR HOME COMFORTS

REDCAR youngster Jody Scott is hoping home track knowledge plays a part when he competes in the British Under-21 Final at the ECCO Arena on Sunday.

Scott and fellow Bears racer Ace Pijper are both amongst the favourites for the event, and having ridden for the Teesside outfit for the last year Scott admits it gives him plenty of confidence.

He said: “Luckily enough it’s at Redcar so I have quite a bit of experience there now from last year and this year.

“I’m going to put all my knowledge into one in that meeting, and try to claim it. If I don’t then I’ll learn a lot from it, and I’ve still got a couple of years left in it, but this year is definitely the year I want it.

“This meeting progresses a lot of youngsters. I did my first one when I was 15 years old back in 2022, that was my first year on a 500cc, and I learnt so much from it.

“I’ve managed to get in it ever since then and I love every minute of it. This year is going to be a tough one again and I’m looking forward to it.”
